Frequently asked questions
What is DigStory?
A history of the public DNS records, WHOIS registration data and technologies behind domains. Look up any domain or IP address to see what it looks like now and everything that changed before.
How far back does the history go?
To the first time DigStory saw a domain. From then on every change is kept, including for domains that later stop resolving or expire.
How current is the data?
Domains are rechecked continuously, and changes show up in the history, your watched domains and your webhooks as soon as they are seen.
Can I get alerts when a domain changes?
Yes. Watch a domain and every DNS, WHOIS, availability or technology change becomes an event. Set a webhook for your team to receive them as signed deliveries.
Is there an API?
Yes. Everything the pages show is available as JSON with an API key. Each key has a daily request quota, and large lists come in pages.
Can I export data?
Yes. On paid plans, reverse lookups and technology reports download as CSV, on the web or through the API.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. Sign in with your email, no card needed, and keep the free plan as long as you like.
How do I sign in?
Enter your email and we send you a one-time sign-in link. There are no passwords to remember.
